@ -7,7 +7,8 @@ git-daemon - A really simple server for git repositories.

SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-daemon' [--verbose] [--syslog] [--inetd | --port=n]
'git-daemon' [--verbose] [--syslog] [--inetd | --port=n] [--export-all]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
@ -20,18 +21,35 @@ what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok.

It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and
it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked
for export this way.
for export this way (unless the '--export-all' parameter is specified). If you
pass some directory paths as 'git-daemon' arguments, you can further restrict
the offers to a whitelist comprising of those.

This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories.

OPTIONS
-------
--export-all::
Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories
(have the 'objects' subdirectory and a 'HEAD' file), even if they
do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file.

--inetd::
Have the server run as an inetd service.

--port::
Listen on an alternative port.

--init-timeout::
Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the
client request is received (typically a rather low value, since
that should be basically immediate).

--timeout::
Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time
it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent
waiting for next client's request.

--syslog::
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
